More Feeder Insects

Silkworms make great staple diets, but they can be a little pricey at times, so you may want to consider breeding them for your reptiles.

Superworms are a great staple for larger reptiles. Because of their hard exoskeleton they are hard to digest.

Phoenix Worms are very high in calcium. Some reptiles love them, but some don't. So, you may want to grab a cup and try them out.

Butter Worms are very high in calcium, but they are also high in calories. These brightly colored worms are great healthy treats for your reptiles.

Waxworms are nothing more than fatty junk food for reptiles. They make wonderful treats, but definately nothing more!
